Foxtail ferns are not really ferns, as they’re multiplied from seeds and produce no spores. The common name came from the clumping habit of the plant that is similar to that of a fern. Foxtail asparagus ferns have an unusual, symmetrical look. These fern-like plants have arching plumes of tightly packed, needle-like leaves that look soft and delicate. Foxtail fern plants bloom with white flowers and produce red berries. The plants appear fragile and may cause gardeners to shy away from them, expecting difficult and extensive care of foxtail fern.

1. It adds beauty to planted area
Do's
1. Adding mulch helps boost plant growth by slowly adding decomposing humus to the soil while also conserving soil moisture, keeping the foxtail fern's roots cool, and blocking out weed invasions.
2. Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system.
3. For a neat appearance, remove old and faded stems.
Don'ts
1. Avoid overhead watering and instead water at the base of the plant to minimize the risk of fungal diseases.
2. Don't need to constantly feed this plant the way you would with annual flowers.
